The End of the End
It's hard to believe that it ended like this. Picturing an end to a
fifteen year obsession is difficult enough. If I had to picture it
all being over though, I expected it to go calmer somehow.
The insanity started, of course, with the Hampton announcement. I
didn't want to rearrange my plans and I really didn't want to pay $400
to change my plane ticket over, but there really wasn't that much of a
choice. There are two shows that I regret missing more than all
others combined. One is Phish playing on the anniversary of Jerry's
death in Virginia Beach. The other was the Grateful Dead playing a
stealth show in Hampton, one that I blew off because I had tickets to
the next five shows. The Hampton addition was the perfect storm of
missed opportunities. If I blew it off, clearly it would be the most
amazing show ever and I'd never forgive myself.
So plans were changed. Flights were shuffled – which had the amusing
side effect of setting off terrorist flags. I completely rearranged
my life because if I didn't, it would have been amazing. Of course
by choosing to go, I pretty much made sure that the show wouldn't be
all that spectacular. I apologize to everyone else, but I made the
sacrifice twice already.
Providence to Hampton to Boston to Camden to Coventry. Just looking
at the itinerary was enough to make me wonder about the sanity of the
tour. Lord knows that I would get my fill of I-95.
The plan – which had changed quite a few times on the way – was to
stay at the Motel 6 in Fredericksburg, VA before the show. It also
was a likely place to stay after the show, depending on how much we
liked it. Even if my room didn't come with some insect pets, even
if we were willing to ignore the slum that the motel was in, there was
no way that we were going to stay there post show. Why? Because
the management decided to engage in sketchy – if not illegal – activity.
At 10 AM (checkout was noon) I get a knock on my door. "Management!"
I didn't feel like dealing with the it, so I ignored it. The manager
then proceeded to use her pass key to open all of the locks on the
door – even the deadbolt was bypassed that – to allegedly inquire as
to if I were checking out or not. She tried to take on southern
belle mannerisms, but it was not taking. With no warrant or any
security reason, she went to every single room in the motel to harass
people hours before checkout. I'm far from convinced that she can
just enter my room like that without any security rationale. At
least I can write a chain off of my places to stay on future trips.
The advantage of this annoyance is that we hit the road early.
Apparently there was a massive accident in Richmond that we would have
hit otherwise. Instead of being stuck in traffic, we arrived at the
coliseum an hour before the lots opened. It was weird being in
Hampton and not seeing masses of people in the hotel lots. The
lateness of the announcement coupled with the shortness of the stay
kept everyone off of the strip. The speculation of a three quarters
filled venue turned out to be false though; there were even people in
the upper deck behind stage.
Any fears that the first set was just going to be a warmup were
destroyed with the opening Chalkdust. This was a long, mindbending,
brain destroying version which was followed by an equally intense
Bathtub Gin. Runaway was just a quick breather – which sounds odd
considering it was ten minutes long – before morphing into an intense
Walls of the Cave. Everyone assumed that that was going to be the
set closer, but we got one more treat with Loving Cup.
This was one of those sets. All of my stress about getting to this
show, all of the financial hardships, all of the annoyance about the
Motel 6 and stress about the post-show drive faded away. People were
running around and screaming and going on and on about it. Just
think – this was the first set of the first show of the run. Imagine
how much better the rest of the tour will be.
I don't think anyone at that moment would have expected that this
would be the last great set of Phish's career, but (at least
from the perspective of this reviewer) that's indeed what it was.
There were rumors going around the venue focusing on Jerry's death.
Phil and Bobby were there. The soundcheck contained both Bird Song
and Dark Star. Right before lights went out, the second rumor was
debunked at the Waterwheel table, but still the anticipation was high.
The band came out and tuned for a while. Some people heard Dark
Star. Many many people heard Fluffhead. People rushed to their
seats to make sure that they didn't miss the first notes of what was
going to be an incredible opener for sure. Finally the band got on
the same page. Here it comes. The last indoor set opener will
...All of These Dreams!?!?
Unlike many, I actually like this song. I think it works well as a
mid set change of pace, a chance for us to catch our breaths between
massive jams. As an opener though it doesn't work very well. Ok
though, that just was a warm up. The next song will be great and
exciting and… oh ok Limb by Limb. That's a bit of a placeholder
song but the next song will get everything started. Here we go.
Lifeboy – another ballad that works best after a massive jam.
The excitement for this show was so incredibly high. Between the
energy of the venue, the importance of the date, and the way that this
show was announced at the last second, the crowd was more amped than
I've ever seen. During the first 20 minutes of the second set you
could literally see the energy leave the venue as people got more and
more frustrated. It's too bad about this show. If the sets were
reversed, people would have been raving about it for quite some time,
but instead it gets known as a letdown.
With Fredricksburg a destroyed plan and fears about traffic, we
decided to do the logical thing after the show. It's only a ten hour
drive to Providence. There were three of us in the car. No problem.
I'd like to claim that I was an incredible help on this trip, but
I slept pretty much the whole way up. I did wake up long enough to
see the beauty of the northern Garden State Parkway. Lucky me!
The first night of Great Woods is kind of special. It was the last
show that just kind of was. Hampton had the roller coaster. Second
night GW had the wackiness. Everyone else gets sucked into the
black hole that was Coventry. This night though just was what it
was. Phish played two sets of solid music. People who attended got
to see Trey sing the 4 Seasons' hit December 1963 (Oh, What a Night).
Dog Faced Boy was given a new surprising emotional depth when it could
be tied into the end of Phish. Ultimately though, this was the other
kind of night that we will miss.
Yes everyone will lament the lack of days when the band was on and
all you could do is look at the person next to you in complete awe
over what went down. However, there also are the evenings when
you're with your friends and the band is playing decent versions of
songs that you love and everything just feels right. Maybe that's
the nostalgia band feel that Trey is so worried about, but there are
good things about it.
If the first night of Great Woods was the last Phish show that was
just a Phish show, the second night was the last silly show. Part of
the joy of seeing Phish was that at any show something could happen
that had never happened before. On this night Trey started playing
the Smokey Robinson tune Tears of a Clown. He tried to sing it but
it quickly became apparent that he didn't know the words. After
trying to pass it off to a bandmate to sing to no avail, a fan got to
live out the dream.
We've all thought about it. What if one day we got invited on stage?
What would we do? Would we choke? Would we do so well that we get
added to the band? I'll never know what I will do – much to the
relief of the fan base – but this girl knows. It actually was
impressive; after she got over her obvious jitters, she sang quite
well. She even got to give a kiss to Trey on the way out. I
suspect that a large percentage of the female fans bought Motown
songbooks just in case there was to be a repetition in Camden.
In a tour defined by finality, Great Woods marked the end of a
gimmick. The final vacuum song was played this night. It seems
like the band knew that this was it. The Fishman annoying Hold Your
Head Up theme went on for a lot longer than usual. Afterwards Trey
quizzed the band on whether they thought the gimmick was a good one.
Mike got off the line of the tour with, "On a scale of 2 to 3, I
give it a 3." Trey might talk more, but Mike always gets the best
Great Woods could still have some distance about the meaning of the
tour, but there was none of that for Camden. The cloud of Coventry – both literal and figurative – was starting to lie over the tour.
Camden will go down in Phish history for being the last shed show, for
an amusing Maze->Catapult->Maze and the final versions of such
great songs as Pebbles and Marbles, Sneaking Sally, and Rock and Roll.
The main topic of conversation at the show though was Coventry. I
had checked my email on my cell phone and saw the announcement on
Phish Update to not try to drive up until Saturday. With the report
of another hurricane potentially hitting it on Sunday, there was real
talk of the event being cancelled. We might be at the final show
ever and not even know it.
With no additional news the only thing to do was to assume that the
show would be on. We crashed for a few hours in northern CT and
headed up to Vermont. There were three ways of going to the event.
The lemming path involved getting in line on I-91 north. The really
clever people took the Burlington route but that was risky; there were
reports of those roads being closed on occasion. We decided to be
medium clever and go round the back circle, round the back realized
and circle around the traffic jam. We'd get back on at exit 27, go
back south, and wait in a presumably shorter jam in that direction.
While we first were going to get off on a side road and drive around
the traffic, they were keeping the left lane open for through
travellers. We decided to just plow through the jam on the left and
go past the exit. The only problem with that plan is that the
people waiting in the right lane (for over 20 miles! That was our
first sign that something BAD was happening.) thought that we were
trying to cut in line.
People had been in traffic for a long time. They were there for so
long that they had time to make up signs to hold up at the people who
were line scamming. "Left laners have bad karma." "Enjoy Canada,
eh?" Someone even threw Kool Aid bean bags at us. I think that was
supposed to annoy us, but we saw them as being showered with gifts.
It looked like our plan was going to work. The traffic jam we ended
up in was only 2 miles away from the exit. It was 5 PM on Friday.
Traffic would be its normal bad self, but surely we'd be in by 9-10
AM. I started the stopwatch and Elayne reset the trip odometer.
Here we go.
Or here we didn't go. By sunrise, we had only travelled .2 miles.
I was getting worried as this was worse than Cypress. It though was
somewhat similar. We were stopped forever and then it started to
move when people figured out where to park us and we got in in plenty
of time. The rumor mill of the line – and here is a good time to
point out that The Bunny was completely useless the entire time we
were stuck. Rather than handing out information, they just told us
what they thought would keep us calm. A lot of the anger that
happened came from the powers that be deciding to not confront us with
facts that might upset us. It's much more fun to stun people after
all – was that the southbound traffic was going to be blocked off
until dawn to help out the northbound people, but then it would be
There was a real chance that that information was correct. Between 5
and 8, we were zipping along. About 20 hours after we hit the jam,
we had travelled an entire .5 mile. The sign giving the one mile
warning for the exit was just ahead. Morale was starting to pick up.
Then Mike made the announcement.
No one else was going to be allowed into the parking area. At first
I thought that the show was going to be cancelled, but it was worse.
The final show was going to be happening but I wasn't going to be able
to see it. After all of the work I had put in over the years to see
the band, all of the sacrifices I had made to get tickets and to
travel to the next show, after changing all of my plans just a week
earlier to make it to Hampton, all of that was to mean nothing. One
of the major influences of my life was going away, and I wouldn't even
be allowed to attend the farewell party.
At this point I more or less lost it. I made it through the next
hour due to two things. Melissa dropped everything to comfort me and
George and Elayne decided that they were not going to take no for an
answer. They walked up to the exit and talked to the police.
Apparently there was no problem with people walking in, despite what
the Bunny might have said. We went back to the exit north of
Coventry and started driving south. Right before the roadblock at
Airport Road, we found a person letting people park for $50. We
organized our camping gear, and started walking the five miles.
At this point it was exciting. We had overcome incredible odds
against us to make it to the show. Sure we were exhausted but there
was an rush from the roller coaster. We might have looked like
refugees walking up Airport Road, but we were going to have a story to
tell. We were at a Phish festival! There's nothing better in the
entire world after all; surely all of our trials to get to the event
would be rewarded.
Once we got a chance to get settled down, we wandered into the venue.
It would make a much better story here if I could make Coventry out
into some incredible promised land. Unfortunately, I can't. Maybe
the rain wiped out all of the cool plans. Maybe that's why there were
so few portapotties. Perhaps the artwork couldn't be trucked in.
For whatever reason, this was a festival done on the cheap. After
six of these, we now have certain expectations for a Phish festival.
i don't think anyone expected Coventry to top the other events due to
the weather and the emotional considerations. To see it fall that
short though was stunning. If there were to be another festival in
2005, I'd have to think for quite some time before deciding to go.
The art is secondary at a festival. It was frustrating to not really
have anything to play with, but two good shows would have more than
made up for it. Unfortunately that also was not to be. While there
were some very nice jams mixed into things for whatever reason, Trey
seemed incapable of playing the most simple of songs. I'm not going
to get involved in the speculation as to why that might have happened.
It just would have been nicer if the final Chalk Dust was sung with
the right words and the final song ever didn't have to be restarted.
It sucks to say this about the end of something that has been so
important to me, but on a scale of two to three, Coventry was most
definitely a two.
However much I might be upset over how things ended, the fact is that
things are over. We have to enter another phase of our lives now.
Our lives revolved around pursuing the amazing emotional, mystical
peaks, and now we have to find another focus. Our lives will be
simpler now, but less interesting. They'll be better, but with much
fewer stories. Our vacations will be in places that we find
interesting, and odds are low that we'd have to walk miles with all of
our stuff on our backs unless we had planned to do so in advance.
Many of us have been pushing ourselves pretty hard since Phish have
returned; a few years of getting things back in order might not be the
worse thing. Maybe by then we'll find something else that will
bring us that bliss. One can only hope.

BISD trustees' future in hands of justices
Beaumont school district voters could feel the effect almost immediately of a U.S. Supreme Court decision expected this week, which could upturn an expensive and hard-fought effort to stage a trustee election that had been set for May, was canceled, then was rescheduled for November.
A ruling from the Supreme Court in a lawsuit filed by Shelby County, Ala., to eliminate a section of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 requiring federal approval whenever certain states change voting laws could erase months of work by trustees and opponents alike that has cost taxpayers in excess of at least $100,000 to date in legal fees.
If a majority of the Supreme Court votes to overturn the section called preclearance, the outcome in Beaumont could be a transfer of power from a black majority to a white majority. The decision could result in the scrapping of seven single-member voting districts in favor of five single-member districts and two at-large districts, which a majority of the school district's voters approved in 2011.
If the high court agrees with the Shelby County plaintiffs that federal oversight is no longer needed when certain states change their voting laws, then opponents of the school district's voting plan will throw their efforts behind restoration of the 5-2 plan, said Mike Getz, a lawyer who represents trustee Mike Neil and other candidates seeking election to the school board.
Getz said he likely will petition the state's Ninth Court of Appeals to require the Beaumont Independent School District to set an election in November with five single-member districts and two at-large.
If that happens, it opens the door to white candidates who would be elected citywide and who could form a board majority, displacing the existing black majority on the school board.
Currently, there are four black school board members and three white members. Many of the votes on issues about school board elections have resulted in 5-2 and 4-3 splits.

Physics Practice Test 1
Question 1
What is the dimensional formula of torque?
Correct Answer: C
Torque is the turning effect of force applied on a body. It is given as
t = r x F
t is the torque vector;
r is the displacement vector;
F is the force vector;
Since dimensional formula of force is MLT-2 and that of displacement is L hence, dimensional formula of torque becomes
Therefore, C is the correct answer option.
Question 2
A car moving at 25 m/s suddenly stops by applying brakes on observing a stoplight. If the time taken during the process of stopping is 1.5 s, what is the displacement of the car?
- 17.55 m
- 18.75 m
- 16.25 m
- 15.35 m
- 17.75 m
Correct Answer: B
This problem can be solved by applying the kinematic equation of motion as shown below
v = u + at ------------ (1)
v is the final velocity of the car;
u is the initial velocity of the car = 25 m/s;
a is the acceleration the car is undergoing;
t is the time under consideration = 1.5 s;
Since the car finally stops, hence v = 0 m/s. Putting the values in equation 1 we get
0 = 25 + a *1.5
Or, -25 = 1.5a --------------- (2)
Negative sign is coming because the car finally comes to rest and it is undergoing negative acceleration. We can neglect the negative sign here. Therefore, equation 2 becomes
a = 25/1.5
Or, a = 16.67 m/s2
v2 = u2 - 2as -------------- (3)
to solve for displacement.
S is the displacement of the car; We have taken the negative sign for acceleration here due to the fact that acceleration is negative. Putting the values of v, u, a in equation 3 we get
Or, 252 = 2 × 16.67 × S
Or, S = 252/(2*16.67)
Or, S = 625/33.34
Or, S = 18.75m
Hence, B is the correct answer option.
Question 3
Net force acting on a body moving with constant velocity is zero. Which of the following is incorrect?
- Body will slow down
- Body will move faster
- Body will stop
- Body will continue moving with same velocity
- Body will accelerate
Correct Answer: D
A body moving with constant velocity or at rest is the condition of static equilibrium. For static equilibrium, we need balanced force that means all the forces acting on the body balance each other and in this way the net force acting on the body becomes zero. Therefore, only option D is correct amongst the first four the options given above. Body cannot accelerate, as acceleration is time rate of change of velocity. If velocity is remaining constant, the acceleration will become zero. Therefore, E is an incorrect option.
Question 4
Two blocks of masses M and 4 M are moving under the effect of the same force, F on a frictionless table as shown below. What would be acceleration of the smaller mass? (Assume smaller mass is at rest with respect to the larger mass)
Correct Answer: C
Since the table is frictionless, hence both the bodies will continue moving under the common force F and will have same acceleration. Since it is brought out in the question that the smaller block is not moving over the larger block hence, both the blocks will move as a combined body.
The situation above is shown below.
As both the bodies are moving together, hence, their combined mass becomes
M total = M + 4M
Or, M total = 5M
Common force acting on the bodies is F. Therefore, by Newton's second law of motion we have
F = ma ------------- (1)
F is the force applied;
m is the mass of the body;
a is the acceleration of both the blocks;
Mass of the body here is Mtotal = 5M. Putting the values in equation 1 we get
F = 5M * a
Or, F/5M = a
Hence, with this acceleration both the smaller and the larger mass will move under the effect of common force, F.
Therefore, C is the correct answer option.
Question 5
What would be the moment of inertia of a thin-walled fluorescent lamp having radius of 3 cm and mass of 50 grams?
- 4.5 × 10-5 kgm2
- 3.5 × 10-5 kgm2
- 3.5 × 10-6 kgm2
- 4.5 × 10-6 kgm2
- 4 × 106 kgm2
Correct Answer: A
Moment of inertia of thin-walled fluorescent lamp is given as
I is the moment of inertia;
M is the mass of the lamp = 50 g;
R is the radius of the lamp = 3 cm;
We have been given mass in grams so, we need to convert it into kg.
1 g = 10-3kg
50g = 50 * 10-3kg
50g = 0.05 kg
Also, radius is given in cm so we need to convert it into m.
1 cm = 10-2m
3 cm = 3 * 10-2m
3 cm = 0.03 m
Putting the values of M and R in equation 1 we get
Or, I = 4.5 * 10 -5 kg m2
Therefore, A is the correct answer option.
Question 6
Consider the figure given below. B is the nodal plane or ground. A body of mass M is kept on a horizontal plane A at a certain height above the plane B. Plane C is at same height from the ground (B) as that of plane A. Which of the following statements is correct?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- Both 1 and 2
- Both 2 and 3
Correct Answer: C
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body by virtue of its height from the reference plane. Potential energy is given as
PE = mgh --------------- (1)
m is the mass of the body;
g is the acceleration due to gravity;
h is the height of the body above the reference plane;
The reference plane plays a vital role in defining the potential energy of a body. Most often reference plane is taken as the ground and hence plane B is the reference plane here. We will discuss potential energy of the body for all the planes individually.
For plane A, the height of the body is zero as it is kept on the same plane A. Hence, putting the value of h in equation 1 we get
Therefore, potential energy of the body is zero with respect to the plane A. Thus, A is an incorrect option.
Both the planes A and C are at same height above the reference plane. Therefore, potential energy of the body with respect to the plane C is same as that in respect of A. Hence, B is incorrect as well. Since the plane A is at some height from the reference plane, h will have a non-zero value. Therefore, potential energy of the body with respect to the ground plane will have some non-zero value. Thus, C is the correct answer option. In the view of the above, D and E are also incorrect options.
Question 7
Displacement of a particle in SHM is given as
x(t) = 23 sin(314t) cm
What is the amplitude and frequency of oscillation of the particle?
- 2.6 cm, 40 Hz
- 2.3 cm, 40 Hz
- 2.3 cm, 50 Hz
- 2.6 cm, 50 Hz
- 3.14 cm, 314 Hz
Correct Answer: C
General expression for displacement of a body in SHM is given as
X(t) = A sin(ωt) ----------- (1)
X(t) is the displacement of the particle;
A is the amplitude of the oscillation;
ω is the angular frequency;
Displacement of a particle as given in the question is
X(t) = 23 sin(314t) cm ------------- (2)
Comparing equation 1 with 2 we get
A = 2.3 cm and ω = 314 rad/s
Angular frequency is related to frequency as ω = 2Πf ----------- (3)
f is the frequency of the oscillation;
Putting the value of in equation 3 we get
314 = 2Πf
Or, 314/(2*Π) = f
Or, 314/(2*3.14) = f
Or, f = 50 Hz
Question 8
Which of the following do not require any medium to propagate?
- Sound waves
- Seismic waves
- Tides
- Light waves
- Waves on the surface of water
Correct Answer: D
Sound waves can only propagate in the presence of a medium like solid, liquid or gas. Sound waves cannot propagate in the absence of a medium. Therefore, A is an incorrect option. Seismic waves are generated due to the fault in tectonic plates of the Earth. Seismic waves originate from a point and travel through the Earth's layers. Hence, without the presence of Earth's layers seismic waves cannot propagate. Hence, B is an incorrect option. Tides and waves on the surface of water originate at a point of disturbance and progress along all directions. Without any medium surrounding the point where the tides or surface waves on water originate, the waves will not propagate. The medium for tides and surface waves on water is essentially liquid. Therefore, C and E are incorrect options as well. Light waves do not require any medium to propagate. For example, light waves coming from the Sun travel most of the distance through the outer space that is devoid of any medium. Therefore, D is the correct answer option.
Question 9
A cylinder of height 2.5 m is filled completely with water. A hole is made at the bottom of the cylinder in such a way that water is coming out of it. What is the velocity of water coming out of the cylinder?
- 6.4 m/s
- 4 m/s
- 9.8 m/s
- 2.5 m/s
- 7 m/s
Correct Answer: E
Velocity of water coming out of a cylinder is given as
v2 = 2gh ----------------- (1)
v is the velocity of the water coming out of the cylinder;
h is the height to which water is filled= 2.5 m;
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2;
Putting the values of h and g in equation 1 we get
v2 = 2 * 9.8 * 2.5
Or, v2 = 49
Or, v = 7 m/s
Hence, E is the correct answer option.
Question 10
An object A of mass 40 kg at 600 C has internal energy of 4000 J. If it is kept in contact with another object B of mass 40 kg at 650 C having internal energy 4500 J, then which of the following statements is true regarding heat transfer? (Assume boundary of contact can allow heat transfer to take place)
- Heat will flow from A to B
- Heat will flow from B to A
- No heat will flow between the objects A and B
- Temperature of A decreases
- Temperature of B increases
Correct Answer: B
Heat always flows from a hot body to a cooler body. In other words, heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. If an object A, at 600 C is kept in contact with another object B, at 650 C, then this means that object A is at lower temperature than that of object B. Hence, heat will flow from B to A. Also, as the heat is transferred from B to A, temperature of B will reduce but temperature of A will increase to reach thermal equilibrium. Thus, B is the correct answer option and A, C, D and E are incorrect answer options.
Question 11
How many electronic charges comprise a coulomb of charge?
- 6 × 1018
- 1018
- 2 × 1018
- 2 × 1019
- 5 × 1015
Correct Answer: A
Charge is given as
Q = ne --------------- (1)
Q is one coulomb of charge;
n is the number of electronic charges;
e is the charge on electron = 1.6 * 10 -19 C;
Putting the values in equation 1 we get
1 = n * 1.6 * 10 -19
Or, n = 6.25 * 1018
Since n is a number therefore number of electronic charges that make one coulomb of charge is 6 * 1018 . Therefore, A is the correct answer option.
Question 12
Three batteries each of 25 V having zero internal resistance are connected in series with a resistance of 100 Ω. What would be the current in the circuit?
Correct Answer: B
Since the batteries are connected in series, equivalent potential of batteries can be found by adding the individual potential. Let equivalent potential be V eq. Therefore, Veq = 25 + 25 + 25
Or, Veq = 3 * 25 V
Or, Veq = 75V
Since internal resistance of the batteries is zero, only resistance to which the equivalent potential is connected is 100 Ω. Hence, current flowing through the circuit can be found by Ohm's law. Ohm's law is given as
V is the potential of the cell = 75 V;
I is the current flowing through the circuit;
R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit = 100 Ω
Putting the values of V and R in equation 1 we get
Or, I = 75/100
Or, I = 0.75 A
Therefore, B is the correct answer option.
Question 13
Keeping the current same in a circular wire, radius is getting doubled. What will the new value of magnetic moment be, if the initial magnetic moment is 3 × 10-5 Am2?
- 3 × 10-5 Am2
- 0.75 × 10-5 Am2
- 4 × 10-5 Am2
- 3.2 × 10-4 Am2
- 1.2 × 10-4 Am2
Correct Answer: E
Magnetic moment is given as
M is the magnetic moment;
I is the current flowing in the wire;
A is the area of the circular loop;
Since the wire is of circular shape hence, area of the circular loop is given as
A = πr2 -------------- (2)
r is the radius of the wire;
Let A1 and r1 be the area and radius of the initial wire. Therefore, expressing equation 2 in terms of A1 and r1 we get
A1 = πr12----------- (3)
Similarly, let A2 and r2 be the area and radius of the final wire. Therefore, expressing equation 2 in terms of A2 and r2 we get
A2 = πr22 ------------ (4)
Since it is given in the question radius of the final wire is twice that of the initial wire hence, r2 = 2r1
Using the value of r2 in equation 4 we get
A2 = π( 2r1)2 Or, A2 = 4πr12 ------------- (5)
Comparing equation 5 with 3 we find that final area can be expressed in terms of initial area and is given as
A2 = 4πr12
Expressing initial and final magnetic moment in equation 1 in terms of initial area and final area we get
And, M2 = IA2 ---------- (8)
Both initial and final current in the wire is same. Dividing equation 8 by equation 7 we get
Cancelling out the common term, in 9 we get
Using equation 6 in 10 we get
Or, M2/ M1 = 4
Therefore, M2 = 4 M1 -------------- (11)
Putting the value of M1 in equation 11 we get M2 = 4 * 3 * 10-5 Or, M2 = 1.2 * 10 -4 Am2
Hence, E is the correct answer option.
Question 14
Consider the figure given below.
What are the values of Θ1 and Θ2 for the figure if a ray of light is incident at from air to a medium of refractive index 1.5?
- sin-1(1/3.7)
- cos-1(1/3)
- tan-1(1/3.7)
- cot-1(1/3)
- sin-1(1/3)
Correct Answer: E
In the figure given below, the brown arrow represents the incident ray, the green arrow represents the transmitted or the reflected ray, and the orange arrow represents the refracted ray. OA represents the normal to the interface between the air and the medium.
Since the incident light is travelling from one medium to another, some part of it will be reflected and some will be refracted. As we know from the property of reflection that, angle of incidence is same as angle of reflection, the green arrow, which is the reflected light will make the same angle with the normal as made by the incident beam with the normal. Therefore,
θ1 = 30o
θ2 can be found by applying Snell's law. According to Snell's law we have
µ1 sin θi = µ2 + sin θr ---------------- (1)
µ1 is the refractive index of medium 1 (here air = 1);
θi is the angle of incidence = 30o ;
µ2 is the refractive index of medium 2 = 1.5;
θr is the angle of refraction = θ2 ;
Putting these values in equation 1 we get
Or, 1 * sin 30o = 1.5 * sin θr
Or, 1/2 = 1.5 * sin θr
Or, 1/(2*1.5) = sin θr
Or, 1/3 = sin θr
Or, θr = sin-1 (1/3)
As θr is same as θ2
. The angle of refraction is sin-1 (1/3).
Hence, E is the correct answer option.
Question 15
Which of the following gets deflected by electric field?
- Gamma rays
- Infrared rays
- Beta rays
- Neutrons
- X-ray
Correct Answer: C
Electric field can be negative or positive in nature. If the electric field is created by negative charges then the electric field is negative and if the electric field is created by positive charges then the electric field is positive. Depending on the type of the charged particle passing through the region of electric field, deflection can be either attractive or repulsive. Since gamma rays have no charge they will move further into the electric field without being deflected. Hence, A is an incorrect option. Infrared rays consist of uncharged particles and therefore, there would not be any deflection from the normal path. Thus, B is an incorrect option. Beta rays are equivalent to electrons i.e. beta rays have the same charge as that on electron. Hence, when beta rays pass through an electric field they will either get attracted or repelled depending on the nature of the electric field. Thus, C is the correct answer option. Neutrons are neutral like gamma rays or infrared rays. Hence, they will not show any deflection while passing through the electric field. Therefore, D is an incorrect option. X-rays consists of neutral particles. Due to this, when they pass through a region of electric field, they undergo no deflection. Thus, E is an incorrect option as well.

Though the U.S. started the current cotton marketing year last Aug. 1 with "what we thought was a very adequate supply of cotton that would keep prices low," says O. A. Cleveland, that outlook got knocked a-kilter.
"We soon discovered that with the crop that was coming in, coupled with very strong demand internationally, our supply-demand situation was going to look better than we ever imagined," he said at the annual joint meeting of the Mississippi Boll Weevil Management Corporation and the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation's Cotton Policy Committee at Grenada, Miss.
Cleveland, Mississippi economics professor emeritus and now a private analyst for several organizations, says the consensus was that the beginning U.S. carryover Aug. 1, 2009, of 6.4 million to 6.5 million bales would keep prices low.
But, surprise! "In April, we took the July futures contract up to about 84 cents, and we stayed there in a trading range for 19 consecutive weeks. Some were thinking the price was headed to the moon — but basically every time the market got to 84 cents, it would fail to go higher."
The U.S. decertificated some 800,000 to 850,000 bales of certified stocks during that time period, he says, currently at about 200,000 bales. "There are another 50,000 bales, I think, that could come off, so we could be as low as 150,000 bales of certified stocks.
"But, I suspect the 150,000, or whatever is on the board now, will come off and that all the certified stocks have been sold. That doesn't mean we're out of cotton, though — the USDA's figures show us ending the marketing year July 31 with 2.8 million bales."
Looking at the USDA's early July Supply/Demand Report, Cleveland says, "We see 2.9 million bales of cotton in inventory as we go into the new marketing year Aug. 1. Last month, the USDA was looking for 16.7 million bales to be harvested this year; now, they've increased that to 18.3 million bales.
"We'll get a subjective estimate the first week of August, and some analysts are suggesting we could go as high as 19 million bales this year. I wouldn't think it will go that high, but I think the market will look at a range of 18.1 million bales to 18.5 million."
The USDA has increased its estimate of domestic consumption for 2010/11 to 3.4 million bales, he notes; that's up 100,000 bales.
"They're projecting an 800,000 bale increase in exports next year, based on the expectation of a much larger crop and that the international mills are demanding more and more cotton. In particular, demand for U.S. cotton between now and December is expected to be exceptionally strong.
"It looks like we'll end this 2010/11 market year with about 3.5 million bales in stocks, up about 600,000 bales more than we started with — not really much change. Numerous events could occur that could increase that figure, but I would think the tendency would be to be a bit lower than 3.5 million. Texas could go as high as 11 million bales, and I kinda hope they do because we need the cotton and it will help bring acreage back up in the Mid-South."
On the world production scene, Cleveland says, "is really where the rubber meets the road as far as prices are concerned. While from time to time the U.S. crop will dictate prices, over the long haul the world supply/demand situation will be a more important influence on price activity in the futures market."
The 2009/10 marketing year began with about 63 million bales of world cotton, he notes, the same as for 2008/09. "In the marketing year beginning Aug. 1, we anticipate starting with 50 million bales, 13 million less than a year ago. Thirteen million bales is a very large number to have worked off in one year.
"We're looking at a world crop in 2010/11 of about 116 million bales, 14 million above 2009/10. This basically keeps China, India, and Pakistan production about where USDA thought they were a month ago." The big question mark — and concern — in the market, Cleveland says, is China.
"There's a big production region in northwest China that's very similar to California and the Mid-South Delta, with very large fields, very good irrigation, and very high yields. It's the region where the real growth in agricultural production, and specifically cotton, has come from.
"But, it's at a latitude about on the level with Denver, Colo., and in June, they had two freezes, including freezing rain and snow. Their cotton got off to an absolutely miserable start. It's difficult to get good, up-to-date information out of China, but it's reported that they replanted 35 percent of their crop, including large acreages that were transplanted with plants out of greenhouses.
"The USDA is pegging China's crop last year at 32.5 million bales and 33 million this year, but given the weather problems, I would think that is going to come down some."
Chinese consumption is expected by the USDA to be up by 1.5 million bales, Cleveland says.
"We really don't know that much about what goes on with their crop, but over the past three months they've taken 13 million to 14 million bales out of their reserves for sale on the open market. Obviously, they needed that cotton. Also, they've imported about 5 million bales and remain in the market for another 4 million. They produced 32.5 million bales and have spun 47 million.
"All this suggests that once again China's consumption has been underestimated. A really good clue is that we've seen a tremendous jump in their exports of apparel goods and gray goods — the largest month-to-month and year-to-year increase we've ever seen. So, we're anticipating that Chinese consumption for the current year is going to be about 2 million bales higher."
The cotton market has been as high as $1.80 per pound, Cleveland says, "though the typical price on their futures board is in the $1.23 to $1.27 range. That's the price of their cotton, yet we see that their textile growth is booming, as consumers are buying more cotton-rich fibers."
China's economy continues to grow "at an abnormally high rate," he says. "With this recession, they did with their stimulus program what we did in the Great Depression and put it into road building and public works construction. Their stimulus appears to have worked well, resulting in a lot more consumption."
The USDA is projecting world consumption in the upcoming market year to be up about 3 percent, a bit over 3 million bales, for a total 119 million, he notes.
"With a huge 14 million bale increase in world production and only a 3 million bale increase in consumption, you might think we'd be looking at a big carryover at the end of next year. But remember, our beginning inventory is so small going into 2010/11, we will actually have a decrease in cotton stocks, to about 49 million bales.
"So, we're looking at a world stocks decline for a second year, and the tightness in supply/demand will continue — all of which points to another good price year for cotton.

Words That Inspire: The Laughing Thrush
The Laughing Thrush
by W.S. Merwin
O nameless joy of the morning
tumbling upward note by note out of the night
and the hush of the dark valley
and out of whatever has not been there
song unquestioning and unbounded
yes this is the place and the one time
in the whole of before and after
with all of memory waking into it
and the lost visages that hover
around the edge of sleep
constant and clear
and the words that lately have fallen silent
to surface among the phrases of some future
if there is a future
here is where they all sing the first daylight
whether or not there is anyone listening
"The Laughing Thrush" From The Shadow of Sirius, copyright 2009 by W.S. Merwin, published by Copper Canyon Press, coppercanyonpress.org.
Note to educators:
Poet Laureate W.S. Merwin's poem The Laughing Thrush conveys a deep connection to a special place and moment—and an intimate knowledge of it as well.
Read the poem with your class. Direct your students to listen to how Merwin slows down time and observes the rich details of the early morning. Now ask your students to picture a special place. Perhaps this place is from their childhood. Ask a couple of students to describe their place, the time of day, the smells, and the seasonal aspects.
Settled with an image in mind, have each student begin their poem of place by borrowing the first line of Merwin's poem, "O nameless joy of morning …." Or, revise the line to afternoon or evening.
Ask your students to reflect on the following when writing their poems:
- Describe with all senses—what do you see, hear, smell, and feel? What textures are present? Notice the season and time of day.
- Borrow this wise poet's eyes and observe the small joys in your world.
- Where are you in relation to this place? Are you seated on a bench? On the grass? Standing on a rooftop?
- Think of this place in relationship to time. Who or what may have been here yesterday or even 100 years ago? What about 100 years from now?
Consider sending each student home with the assignment of finding a special place and writing of it with open eyes and ears.
Taking time to be quiet and observe is challenging for lots of people. Celebrate this quiet by sharing your students' poems.

3-2 Program in Engineering and Applied Science
The College has negotiated arrangements with the California Institute of Technology whereby a student interested in engineering and recommended by Bryn Mawr may, after completing three years of work at the College, apply to transfer into the third year at Caltech to complete two full years of work there. At the end of five years she is awarded an A.B. degree by Bryn Mawr and a Bachelor of Science degree by Caltech. Programs are available in many areas of specialization.
In her three years at Bryn Mawr, the student must complete a minimum of 24 units, most of the coursework required by her major (normally physics or chemistry), and all other Bryn Mawr graduation requirements. She must also complete all courses prescribed by Caltech. The Admissions Office at Caltech has posted information tailored to prospective 3-2 students on its website.
Students do not register for this program in advance; rather, they complete a course of study that qualifies them for recommendation by the appropriate Caltech 3-2 Plan Liaison Officer at Bryn Mawr College for application in the spring semester of their third year at the College. Approval of the student's major department is necessary at the time of application and for the transfer of credit from the Caltech program to complete the major requirements at Bryn Mawr.
Students considering this option should consult the program liaison in the Department of Physics or Chemistry at the time of registration for Semester I of their first year and each semester thereafter to ensure that all requirements are being completed on a satisfactory schedule. Financial aid at Caltech is not available to non-U.S. citizens.

The surgical approach depends on the tumor location and how much surrounding tissue was removed. For an area of skin that isn't too deep, doctors may use a skin graft, or a small portion of the top layers of healthy skin. It's usually taken from an area of your body where missing skin wouldn't be noticeable, such as the inner thigh.
To fill in and close a larger or deeper opening of the skin, doctors may use a local flap, or a piece of nearby skin, which can include underlying fat and muscle. It is moved while it's still attached to its current blood supply. Cartilage, the firm, white tissue that helps give structure to parts of the body such as the ears and nose, may also need to be moved during reconstruction.
Skin flaps are often left in place for several weeks as the surgical site heals. In a second surgery, they are contoured to match the appearance of the surrounding healthy skin and tissues. For example, areas of the nose can be repaired with a local skin flap from the cheek and cartilage from the ear. Doctors perform another surgery to remove any extra flap tissue and carefully reconstruct the shape of the nose with minimal scarring to the face.
Sometimes, if a large skin cancer needs to be removed, doctors may use free flaps of skin, fat, or muscle from a distant part of the body, such as the back or abdomen, to fill in areas where the cancer has been removed. These tissue flaps are called "free" because they are detached from their blood supply. Blood vessels are reattached at the site of repair.
After surgery, our doctors help scars heal properly. For example, they can carefully tape incisions after surgery and leave this tape in place for several days, to prevent scarring. If a scar becomes raised or red, doctors can inject the area with steroids, which helps flatten the tissue and remove the redness. Lasers can also treat discoloration.
Recovery time from basal and squamous cell cancer surgery varies, depending on the size of the tumor, whether lymph nodes were removed, and whether you undergo reconstruction.
Our doctors closely monitor you after surgery to ensure you are healing properly and to manage any discomfort, whether with medications or with our integrative health therapies .

DEEPSEA CHALLENGE / The Expedition
More than 50 years ago, two men climbed into a massive, blimp-like submersible, descended about 35,800 feet (10,912 meters) to the deepest point in the ocean, and became the first people to observe the dark underworld of one of Earth's most extreme environments. No one had been back since, until March 26, 2012, when James Cameron , a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, made a record-breaking solo dive to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in a custom-built submersible that he co-designed.
Photograph by Charlie Arneson DEEPSEA CHALLENGER preparing for a dive
Although best known for directing films such as Titanic and Avatar , Cameron is an avid explorer with 72 submersible dives to his credit—51 of which were in Russian Mir submersibles to depths of up to 16,000 feet (4,877 meters), including 33 to Titanic .
For this expedition, Cameron squeezed into a pilot sphere so small he could not extend his arms. He was the sole occupant in a complex, 24-foot-long (7.3-meter-long) craft made primarily of highly specialized glass foam. As he maneuvered on the ocean floor amid unexplored terrain and strange new animals, Cameron filmed footage for a feature-length documentary and collected samples for historic research. Why? To promote exploration and scientific discovery.
The dive was part of the
expedition, a partnership with
National Geographic
that took Cameron, along with fellow pilot Ron Allum and a team of engineers, scientists, educators, and journalists, to the greatest depths of the ocean—places where sunlight doesn't penetrate and pressure can be a thousand times what we experience on land. After years of preparation, the team went to the Mariana Trench, a 1,500-mile-long (2,400-kilometer-long) scar at the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean. There, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) from Guam, Cameron continued the work that
Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard
, the first men to dive the trench in the

, started in. While the Trieste was not equipped to take pictures or get samples, Cameron and his DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible were armed with multiple cameras and a mechanical arm for scooping up rocks and animals. These samples could enable groundbreaking discoveries: Studying the forces that shape these trenches could help us to better understand the earthquakes that cause devastating tsunamis; studying the fauna that survives there could lead to breakthroughs in biotechnology and our understanding of how life began.

Heart your smile says the dental community
The BDA Dental Showcase in Birmingham has launched a campaign to boost confidence amongst UK dentists. The Heart Your Smile initiative was created by several industry professionals who were concerned about the lack of confidence dentists were reportedly experiencing countrywide. Its founders are hoping to inspire dentists in their everyday practice by implementing nine core values to boost their drive and performance, labeled the 'Nine habits of a happy dental professional.'
Managing director of the dental division of Henry Schein UK, Simon Gambold, said 'It's about stimulating positive conversations in the profession, about the profession.' Showcase attendees were invited to sign the manifesto and show their support by wearing a Heart Your Smile badge. Dental professionals were also encouraged to share their stories at a film studio that was set up at the event, designed to lift other workers with interesting and entertaining tales from the world of dentistry. Marketing guru Chris Barrow said 'Over the past few weeks we have 'planted' some posts on social media about what would inspire confidence in the dental profession and the answers have been very revealing.'
BDA's Linda Stranks was hopeful that 'A patient-facing campaign will also emerge from this which dental professionals can use to promote positive messages about overall healthcare and regular visits to the dentist.'

Three of a kind
The selfless gift of the Eucharist, the selfless death of Jesus, and the Resurrection are all one great act of love from God.
For Jesus, it was all one thing. There was no separation, no distance between the three days. Knowing what he was about to suffer, Jesus of Nazareth took bread in his hands on a Thursday evening and set into motion everything that was to follow. Christ, the beloved Son of God, rose triumphant on Saturday evening and put an end to death forever. The days are one continuous movement that secured our salvation and sealed forever the final covenant between God and people.
The combined celebrations are called the Paschal Triduum. Paschal refers to the Paschal Lamb that was central to the Jewish feast of Passover. Three of the gospel accounts tell us that the last meal that Jesus ate with his friends on Holy Thursday was the Passover meal. The Gospel of John, stressing the significance of Jesus as the Lamb of God, has the Crucifixion occurring on the day of Passover at the time when the Paschal Lambs were being slaughtered at the temple for use throughout Jerusalem.
In the Jewish tradition, Passover is the time to recall God's saving actions in the life of Israel. It marks the first covenant that God made with his people. The Lord's angel "passed over" the homes of the Jews marked with the blood of the lamb that had been sacrificed and made it possible for the Jewish people to flee the slavery of Egypt. Many years before, God had promised Abraham that his descendants would have a homeland and that they would be a blessing to all the world. The movement of the Jewish people from slavery to freedom is the fulfillment of that covenant.
Jesus came to bring a new covenant between God and his people. This covenant would be sealed not with the blood of a lamb, but with his own blood. His was the perfect offering because his offering brought more than freedom from slavery. It brought freedom from death. Jesus yielded to a death he had the power to avoid. He knew that we all will one day face the terror of death. The death he faced was more miserable than any we can imagine. He was condemned by his religion, executed as a common criminal, deserted by his friends, and suffered the slow asphyxiation of crucifixion.
On either side of this painful and disgraceful death, Jesus offered us gifts of immeasurable value. Before his death, he left us with the sacrament of the Eucharist, a guarantee of his presence among his people in a special way until the end of time. At his Resurrection, he removed the sting of death from the lives of those who believe in him and his promises.
I have attended all three liturgies-Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday-most of my life, never aware of the fact that none of them are "days of obligation." They have always been days of love. Holy Thursday is wondrous. I feel at one with the disciples as we celebrate the anniversary of the Eucharist. I cherish the time spent after the ceremony, fulfilling Jesus' loving plea to "stay and watch with me for an hour."
The Good Friday services of my youth have been shortened and simplified. The long prayers and ceremonies are gone, the clackers have all but disappeared. Yet, the essence of that day remains. The tears still flow from my eyes when I imagine his sacrifice and feel the love contained in it.
The adoration of the cross moves me to a silent contrition more sincere than any other day of the year. I look forward to rain on Good Friday because the very heavens seem to take up my tears of sorrow and shame.
Finally, I believe the most beautiful liturgy of the year is the Easter Vigil. The church is plunged into darkness, and we depend solely on the light of Christ. The deacon chants the haunting melody of the Exsultet, and we hear the history of God's fidelity to his people. Suddenly, the lights are thrown on, the bells ring, and we sing "Glory to God" with full hearts and clear understanding.
For me, it is all one thing. The selfless gift of the Eucharist, the selfless death, and the victorious Resurrection are all one great act of love from a pursuing God who could not have devised a better plan for capturing our hearts. The Triduum shoots this love into me like a powerful drug. The holy medicine lasts a whole year, and I unfailingly return for my annual dose, anxious to feel it once again.

Six agencies improved their performance over the last quarter of fiscal 2002 in at least one of the five key areas identified in the president's management agenda, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
The six graduated from red to yellow in one of the five categories included in the president's management agenda: human capital management, competitive sourcing, financial management, electronic government initiatives and linking performance to budgets. The Defense Department earned a yellow light in human capital management, the Environmental Protection Agency improved its financial management, and the Energy Department enhanced its e-government initiatives. NASA, the Labor Department and Veterans Affairs Department improved in the area of integrating budgets and performance results.
All of the 26 agencies included in the fourth quarter scorecard retained red lights for their competitive sourcing initiatives.
The Bush administration devised the grading system, where a red light indicates failure to implement an objective, yellow indicates mixed results and green shows success, in 2001, to measure how well agencies are doing in five major management areas. In February, the administration released its first mid-year report, in which 109 agencies received red lights, 19 earned yellow lights and only two earned green lights.
More green lights appeared on the "progress" section of the scorecard, which indicates whether agencies are taking the right steps to improve management in the five areas. For their efforts at improvement, almost all of the 26 agencies listed on www.results.gov received green lights in at least one of the categories.
Despite the improvement at the end of fiscal 2002, green lights are still hard to come by, OMB said.
Of 26 agencies highlighted in the latest update, the National Science Foundation is the only one with a green light in any category. OMB awarded NSF green lights for financial management and e-government projects. An October 2002 Performance Institute report also recognized NSF for its progress in e-government, praising the agency for achieving cost efficiencies through two Internet projects that allowed staff to process 19 percent more grant proposals and reduce costs by 33 percent.
But in a statement about the most recent ratings released, OMB Deputy Director for Management Mark Everson provided a glimmer of hope for agencies unsatisfied with their fiscal 2002 ratings. Agencies still have room to demonstrate better performance before the "most important scorecard yet" is published as part of the president's fiscal 2004 budget proposal, Everson said.
OMB will update agencies' scorecards this month, Everson said, so it is important that they make substantial progress in the next few weeks.
"We have entered that important stage of implementation where our success or failure will be evident not just by looking at the scorecard, but also by what concrete steps we have taken to improvement management in the executive branch," Everson said.

*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are tailored to the individual student's initial abilities. In all genres of music it is important to breathe well, have breath support, communicate the emotion and character of the song, and eliminate vocal bad habits. These issues are different for everyone.
I teach a classical Italian technique of breath support and beautiful tone, and these techniques can be applied to all musical styles.
The student will be assigned and choose songs to learn and work on as we incorporate the techniques into the songs and vocal exercises.
Piano lessons and Italian lessons are also available from ages 5 and up.
*** Studio Equipment ***
CD player, 7' Boston grand piano, digital recorder
*** Travel Equipment ***
Yamaha keyboard.
*** Specialties ***
Voice, classical, pop, Broadway, opera, Italian, piano, music theory,

About Zachary B.Close

As a singer, I pay special attention to accents and dialects of all types. My trained ear will help you sound more natural in conversation, improve speaking and/or singing voice, and your overall communication effectiveness. I operate these lessons a bit differently than other music instruction, but the main goal is still to be as holistic and fun as possible!
About Zachary
My passion for performing and teaching brought me to TakeLessons as a way to enrich my immediate community (and beyond through Skype lessons!) and help individual students perform at their best. As an operatic performer, I thoroughly understand the importance of building a strong technical background for any level of singing or professional speaking. My other skills, like instrumental instruction, studying skills, accent reduction, and academic preparation are all offered through TakeLessons as well. As a teacher, I love having fun in lessons and building strong connections with my students at absolutely any level. My personal musical performing experiences span opera, musical theater, jazz, pop, and R&B. I am so excited to share my knowledge and passion for singing with you, as well as any other subject
Zachary B.
A native of Charlotte, NC, Zachary began his musical career as a tuba player and jazz bass guitarist. While attending The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Zachary began singing in various vocal groups on campus and developed his love for the singing voice. With encouragement from the music faculty, Zachary began training as an operatic baritone while at UNC. While attending UNC, Zachary was awarded both the Fischer Scholarship in Voice and the Tony McDowell Voice Scholarship. His singing brought him to Boston in the summer of 2010 to begin study at The Boston Conservatory. While performing various opera roles and attending summer programs, Zachary also opened his private studio and taught at a local music academy.
Baritone Zachary B. is quickly establishing himself as an active operatic performer. Equally at home on the recital stage, his versatile lyric baritone voice fits a wide range of repertoire and styles. A graduate of The Boston Conservatory, Zachary has performed roles like the titular role in Don Giovanni, Ramiro in L'Heure Espagnole, L'horloge comtoise in L'Enfant et les sortileges, Pooh-Bah in The Mikado, and Bob in The Old Maid and the Thief.
Starting in February 2013, Zachary will also be available through TakeLessons for online instruction. Lessons will still focus on energy, breath, and solid technique, so please contact him if you think this venue of instruction will be a good fit!
*** Lesson Details ***
Regardless of your background, I believe in making lessons fun, encouraging, and accessible. This means that my work with you will, by nature, be incredibly personal and always formulated for your specific musical goals. I will constantly strive to make sure you are comfortable in our work together as we explore singing, speaking, and music theory.
I believe every singing or speaking voice can benefit from a foundation in classical vocal technique. Whether you prefer to learn through singing songs or through various exercises, I can customize our lesson plan to fit your needs. Therefore, I provide a fun and engaging lesson atmosphere, but you need to bring your best as well! We will both be happier with the process if we are equally invested in your growth. We will start with something you already know (an aria, vocal exercise, or excerpt from a song) and work toward singing in your preferred vocal style. For example, classical singers will build their knowledge of English, German, Italian, and French diction and song styles. Additionally, I will always respect and include my student's musical interests.
Along the way, I am happy to address basic music theory ideas. If you prefer, we can also spend additional time reviewing and learning those principles to enrich your musical experience. I will always provide different exercises and ideas to keep your brain active in the singing process.
I believe in whole body, whole spirit singing. As a performer, I employ a variety of holistic exercises and theories to develop my own voice, such as basic Alexander Technique principles, voice therapy techniques, a variety of pedagogical palates, and energy work. If these sorts of things interest you, I am more than happy to incorporate them into our lessons. My personal results with those practices have been incredible, so I am always eager to share.
My personality is outgoing and energetic, so I bring that sort of atmosphere to a lesson. I expect preparedness and readiness on your part to maximize our work together. My greatest desire in teaching is to see you grow! So, if a challenging, yet comforting, work environment sounds like something you would like to try, consider scheduling a trial lesson with me. I am always happy to hear from new students!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Open area between the living room and the dining room, seating available, piano to accompany the voice lesson, garage/driveway/street parking.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I prefer for my students to have a keyboard or piano, and if possible, a music stand. We can always make a situation work if the student does not have access to these tools. I provide music, pencils, etc.
*** Specialties ***
I am an opera singer, and specialize in classical singing. However, I apply similar vocal technique to all genres of music, and focus on breathing technique, body and energy awareness, and discuss a holistic approach to singing with all students.

About Claire L.Close
I trained for three years in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and can help you learn a system for training your own ear to hear accents, regionalisms, dialects and then feel, in your physical body, how to make shifts in how you speak and thereby how you sound. The work is not just academic, but physical, experiential and straightforward. It is enjoyable and empowering and something you will be able to easily practice on your own and apply in the day to day for quick results. I look forward to working with you!

*****Each Online Lesson with Free Video & MP3 Recording*****
Carefully following Burrkowsky's (1969) multi-media method, I have taught this subject for over five years for public and private causes, such as library, individuals, and language schools. My emphasis for pronunciation is a scientific, comprehensive overview and treatment of the various sounds, rhythms, inflections, and patterns the spoken language integrates. I encourage practicing and mastering both the sounds themselves, as well as how the sounds are connected and contextualized. I use contemporary sound recording and .wav editing software to involve audio feedback and self-monitoring.
Possibly the only dedicated PhD for E-Learning on the TakeLessons server, I am member of the Association for Language Learning, located in Leicester, UK.

*****Each Online Lesson with Free Video & MP3 Recordings and about 50 GB onedrive folder for lesson files*****
I have grown up bilingual English and German, attending an international school from a very young age. I attended, also, a German public secondary school, where I earned a diploma, and I completed college-level German credits. I taught German in the language lab of a community college, for special needs students, and for private agencies, such as Tutor Doctor. My emphasis is on a comparative introduction of the language to draw out a common ground and familiarize possibly daunting differences. I also enjoy asserting that German is often underestimated as a rewarding second language to study.
Microsoft Excel:
***It is recommended students own or have regular access to a personal computer after 2002 in order to get the best benefit***
This spreadsheet and data management software program is of crucial, pivotal importance in any business and financial environment. The program enables efficient and prompt development of arithmetic and statistical calculations of vast data sets. It also helps to visualize and juxtapose related or even discrepant variables. My approach to teaching the program is cumulative and holistic, starting with an introduction to personal inventory management to the processing of large data sets using pivot tables, charts, and dashboards. My emphasis is on making the program as intelligible and transparent as possible to avoid frustration and intimidation. I use a lot of examples and visuals that are readily available.
***It is recommended students own or have regular access to a personal computer after 2002 in order to get the best benefit***
I teach the touch-typing method that is the convention for most journalistic and input-intensive organizational settings. I teach the home row, proper finger and hand positions, proficiency with left and right hands, as well as posture and concentration methods. I enrich the teaching with resources from the web, such as speed-building and error reduction.

About Gabriel B.Close

I have developed a proven, groundbreaking, unique, fun and interactive approach to reduce, and in some cases eliminate the foreign accent completely. How you ask? Being a singing teacher for over 15 years, I have always found it fascinating when my foreign students would be able to sing a standard American song with NO accent. Somehow, singing completely eliminated their accent. Since that discovery, I was determined to find out why and how. Based on my research, I have created a very easy to understand method that can dramatically reduce the foreign accent.
Coming from an immigrant family myself, and being fluent in three languages (English, Spanish, Italian), I can relate to the challenges foreigners face when attempting to speak in a neutralized American accent. This can be holding you back from advancing your career.
You will see results instantly. Take the first step to propel your career to the next level!

Over the weekend, one of the most coveted and prestigious award in the music industry, Hip hop World Award was held at Eko Hotel and Suite, Lagos.
With the arena full of excitement as celebrities grace the red carpets, fans and contemporary music lovers awaited the anannoucement of the winners of the award.
The Headies which marks the sixth edition of the award had 58 artiste battling for it. The plague of the award was designed by ACE Awards England while the host are Nollywood diva Rita Dominic and music star Eldee de don.

Hitch at the award:
The award was full of mix-up starting from the opening performance by Olamide instead of Waje as annouced by the presenters. Dr Sid also became fustrated as he could not synchronise with the D.J so he stormed out of the stage and said the "F" word.
The presenters appear not to flow with each other as Rita was nervous on stage. The first award that was annouced was for the Best Rap Single but the display on the screen was for the Best Rap Album.
Inspite of this, the award was a success as the crowd were thrilled with performances by Sir Shina Peters, Sound Sultan, Olamide e.t.c.

Before I talk about this recipe, let me address something that's missing here. The frosting. Where's the frosting? It's not there, is it? I actually like these muffins without the frosting, but I'll include the recipe.
I am on a quest to cut back on my grocery shopping budget. I'm feeling some fun in that challenge, so I spent a lot of time in my kitchen on Sunday. I had three ripe bananas that I wasn't going to throw away. Usually I freeze them, to make fruit smoothies. But, my freezer already has an arsenal of frozen bananas... I wanted to make a banana pudding, but every recipe required vanilla wafers. I don't like vanilla wafers! Sorry.
I don't, particularly, like banana bread. I think it's boring-- unless it's slathered with cream cheese and fresh strawberries. I decided to make my tried-and-true recipe for banana muffins, from from Giada De Laurentiis (Food Network), and I have to say that it's moist and very good. The frosting sounds delicious, but I have a confession to make. Shhhhh-- I have never made the frosting! Truthfully, I find that the muffins are sweet enough and that I didn't need the frosting.
These come together really fast. I also experimenting with my potato ricer. I wondered if smashing the bananas would be easier this way... know what? I think it did!
If you look in the background, you can see another batch baking in my oven.
The cinnamon and nutmeg give such a wonderful aroma. I have, yet, to make the frosting. In fact, I almost dusted these with powdered sugar...but, the men ate these with relish.
Reheated for 20 seconds, with a hot cup of coffee, these make a nice morning snack.

Teaching Your Kids to Be Rich
It's not just developing a work ethic—these days, they need to deal with social media too.
Getting rich is hard enough. But teaching the next generation how to be rich is tricky, too.
More people are confronting that issue as the booming stock market, an improving economy and the success of young companies such as Twitter and Facebook swell the ranks of the well-off. By 2015, roughly 4.4 million wealthy North Americans—those with at least $1 million in investible assets—are expected to hold a total of $15 trillion, according to consulting firm Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management, up from 3.7 million people and $12.7...
